We have another TV chef in our midst

Photos courtesy of FOXStaten Island's Rosann Fama made us proud last night on the season premiere of "Hell's Kitchen."

He's baaack! And boy did we miss Chef Gordon Ramsay and all of his nastiness. Last night's premiere of Fox's fourth season of "Hell's Kitchen" was as entertaining and demeaning as ever. Chef Ramsay called one guy a toilet brush because of the way his hair looked and even threw up after tasting one of the contestant's food.

This season, there is a Staten Islander is "Hell's Kitchen's" midst. Rosann Fama, who cooked up a spicy mussel soup as her signature dish, seemed to be doing quite well last night. Chef Ramsay hated everyone's dish, except for those by Rosann and Vanessa. He called Rosann "a receptionist in a law office who actually has a palette."

In a first ever in "Hell's Kitchen" history, each team (guys and girls) had to pick a captain and since Chef Ramsay liked Vanessa's dish the best, she was chosen. The guys had a harder time choosing and finally picked Bobby, who dubbed himself the "black Gordon Ramsay." Bobby seems like a nice guy, but he has to get off his high horse. He talked the talk, but during dinner service, didn't deliver.

Gordon Ramsay is back, and he's brought his attitude with him.

During the dinner service, the women were more prepared than the men, but both teams had a horrible start. The women could not get appetizers out and Vanessa was not being an active leader. Once Chef Ramsay put Rosann at the helm, things started moving. As she said, she's a New Yorker and is used to being pushy.

Over on the men's side, Bobby was not leading at all. The men also couldn't get out the appetizers and dad Dominic was having a hard time on the fish station cooking scallops. Finally, both sides served the appetizers three hours into dinner service, but the restaurant's customers were fed up and went home. The kitchen was closed.

Even though neither team won, Chef Ramsay picked the women as the "winners." Louross, or toilet brush head, was deemed the best of the worst and chose two men to send to the chopping block. He picked Bobby and Dominic, and Dominic was sent home.

We can't wait to see the challenges Chef Ramsay cooks up for the rest of the season. The show is deliciously good with its bad-boy, insulting chef at the forefront. Simon Cowell is a pussy cat compared to Gordon Ramsay. We don't know if we'd be willing to put ourselves out there to get screamed and yelled at, but it might be worth the ride.

'IDOL': HIGH NOTES, LOW NOTES
Isn't Dolly Parton so sweet? The country-music icon was at the center of last night's "American Idol" show, providing insight and guidance to the contestants, who all sang her songs.

Brooke kicked off the night with a solid performance of "Jolene." While it was nothing special, it was good enough to keep her in the competition.

The popular David Cook then gave us his rendition of "Little Sparrow," which, of course, the judges loved. However, we thought it was just OK.

Ramiele sang "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind" and could be the one to go home tonight. This was definitely the weakest performance of the night. It wasn't even that she sang horribly -- for her it was good. Everyone else was just stronger.

Jason Castro performed "Travelin Through" and he too gave a mediocre performance. And, while we could be wrong -- because he was in the Bottom 3 last week -- we don't think he'll be the one kicked off. He seems to have a big enough fan base to keep him safe -- for now.

Singing "Here You Come Again" was Carly Smithson. She performed it beautifully and was one of our Top 3 favorites of the night.

Following her was David Archuleta, who also made it into our Top 3. He sang "Smokey Mountain Memories" and once again brought us to tears. For only being 16, this boy sings with such maturity and emotion. He hasn't ceased to amaze us.

Kristy Lee Cook came next with "Coat of Many Colors," the Dolly Parton song we thought Brooke should have sang. Unlike Kristy, Brooke sings with feeling and would've given this song its due. While Kristy sang it well vocally, she failed to get us to understand it.

We knew Syesha would pick "I Will Always Love You." Most of us forget that its Dolly's song to begin with, as we always associate it with Whitney Houston. But it's not, leaving Syesha with a chance to show us what she's got. With that said, we think she was great and believe the judges were a bit harsh on her. After all, it was Dolly Parton night, not Whitney Houston night. So comparing her to Whitney is just unnecessary. For what it was worth, she did a great job. (Check out the YouTube clip and let us know what you think.)

Closing the show was Michael Johns with another very strong performance. He rounds out our Top 3. Adding a bluesy-rock tone, he performed "It's All Wrong, But All Right." Keep it up, Michael, keep it up!

Predictions: We say the Bottom 3 will be Ramiele, Syesha (we don't think her fan base is that big since she's been there twice before) and Jason Castro. The one to go? Ramiele.

Oh, and what did you think of Ryan Seacrest's "April Fool's" joke? For a split second, he almost had us!

'DANCING' THE NIGHT AWAY
If smiles and a great attitude were all it took to win "Dancing with the Stars," there would be a few people this season who would have a great shot, not the least of which was Steve Guttenberg. "Was" being the operative word: Guttenberg and pro-partner Anna Trebunskaya were the third couple eliminated from the show during last night's episode.

"I'm just going to miss seeing everybody all week and I just love everyone. I've had such a good time here. It's made me a better person," Guttenberg said after hearing the results.

Before the elimination, Guttenberg was able to reprise his tango from the night before, but not with Anna. Instead, he performed with her husband, Jonathan Roberts, because Anna had been sick with a virus. It wasn't his first time arm-to-arm with Roberts -- the two had rehearsed during the week.

The results show also included two performances by Australian pop star Kylie Minogue, who happened to have released her album, "X," in the U.S. yesterday. It's the first studio album in four years for the singer, whose career was put on hold for 18 months after she underwent surgery for breast cancer in 2005.

Members of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, celebrating its 50th year, performed a portion of its signature ballet, "Revelations."
